We study the Riemann curvature tensor of (\kappa,\mu,\nu)-contact metric manifolds, which we prove to be completely determined in dimension 3, and we observe how it is affected by D_a-homothetic deformations. This prompts the definition and…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space. We consider the behavior of probability measures $\mu$ with the property that $$ \int_{X} d(x, y) d\mu(y) \qquad \mbox{is independent of}~x \in X.$$ It appears that such measures, when they exist,…

We use the Suita conjecture (now a theorem) to prove that for any domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}$ its Bergman kernel $K(\cdot, \cdot)$ satisfies $K(z_0, z_0) = \hbox{Volume}(\Omega)^{-1}$ for some $z_0 \in \Omega$ if and only if $\Omega$…

Griffiths' conjecture asserts that a holomorphic vector bundle is ample if and only if it admits a Hermitian metric with positive curvature. In this paper, we present a new proof of this conjecture on compact Riemann surfaces using a system…

I prove a scalar curvature rigidity theorem for spheres. In particular, I prove that geodesic balls of radii strictly less than $\frac{\pi}{2}$ in $n+1~(n\geq 2)$ dimensional unit sphere can be rigid under smooth deformations that increase…

In this work we show that the Riemann hypothesis for the Dedekind zeta--function $\zeta_{\mathrm{K}}(s)$ of an algebraic number field $\mathrm{K}$ is equivalent to a problem of the rate of convergence of certain discrete measures defined…

We characterize uniform $k$-rectifiability in Euclidean spaces in terms of a Carleson-type geometric lemma for a new notion of flatness coefficients, which we call $\iota$-numbers. The characterization follows from an abstract statement…

We prove a lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian on sub-Riemannian manifolds with transverse symmetries. When the manifold is of H-type, we obtain a corresponding rigidity result: If the optimal lower bound for the first…

The main result of this paper gives a plenary proof on the curvature estimates for $k$ curvature equations with general right hand sides with $n<2k$ based on a concavity inequality. We further give a explicit lower bound of the inequality.
